Ian Rivington, director of LOROC Architects, said: “We worked closely with Leeds City Council to create a scheme befitting the site’s superb prominence on this busy intersection. The investment into delivering this high quality, big brand facility further contributes to the ongoing regeneration of this part of the city.”
Peter Shackleton, development manager at Prospect Estates, said; “We considered a number of options for this gateway site and to be bringing it back into use with a high design scheme such as this is an excellent result. We are delighted to have been able to assist Magnet with its relocation.”
